Boliden reported stable results for Q3, 2021, with an operating profit increase to SEK 1,936 million, boosted by high metal prices. However, milled volumes in Aitik and Tara fell compared to previous periods, with a significant production shutdown in Garpenberg. Boliden Smelters' profit excluding inventory revaluation was SEK 611 million, down from SEK 835 million, impacted by higher energy prices and a fire in Harjavalta, which resulted in an SEK -80 million loss.
